Buffistas

Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

the mortgage is the only big debt we have

That's huge, though. I have assloads of student loan debt, and a fair amount of credit card debt. Staying in this apartment I could afford as a student means I'm making strides in paying stuff off AND starting to save some. I still have a long way to go, though.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Don't forget I am way old, Jesse. We think we might stay in this house for, you know, ever. Or at least long enough to build up lots of equity.

You have plenty of time to pay stuff off and figure out if oyu want to own a home.

You're not so old, Robin! I'm hoping to get where you are by the time you did. Or, you know, get together with someone with money. Keep hope alive!!

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Oh, boy, I just discovered a new way to spend money.

Today I have contractors blowing insulation into my walls, and I had a notary come by so I could sign papers for a HELOC, and I just had a painter come by to give me a bid. And he pointed out something on the roof of the garage that wasn't just damage, but was fungus and rot and now I need a roofer to come fix my garage roof.

And yet! My appraisal on my house for the HELOC said it's worth twice what I paid for it in 2000. So, still a good investment.

Just, argh. So much to do before the rain starts!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Damn. [link]

It is with deep regret that we must inform you of the passing of Michael Jackson, the Beer Hunter, who died this morning at his home in London, UK.

They were doing this on This Old House last night! Well, sometime in the past, it was a rerun.

I love TOH.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Gosh, I'm glad I'm not as old as you guys.
